CLAIRE's POVI stood by the side of the post office building, waiting for Luis to finish with posting the letter to Dominik. My eyes trailed my surroundings, looking for a source of entertainment. For a small village, the whole streets were filled with people. There were stalls on each side of the street, selling mostly food and snacks. Curiously and since I had nothing better to do, I walked away from the building and into the crowd of people.My eyes trailed each stall, but I soon zoned out into my thoughts. The last moments before I tossed Enzo out of window replayed in my head. He had this terrified look etched on his face. It was pitiful, but there was this strange feeling coursing through me.I had felt no remorse for him and delighted in his suffering. He deserved it after all the things he had done to me after I had trusted him. And my father, I scoffed at the thought of him. I was ready to end his life there and then, but Luis had stopped me. Now I was regretting why I did
CLAIRE's POVLuis had successfully sent a letter to Dominik, and we both hoped that it would reach him fast enough. We exited the small village, and began to make our way to my mother's clan, the witches clan. That place was my safe haven, and the only place we could go right now. We trudged down the road as the sun was slowly sinking down into the ground. All the while I walked beside Luis, my mind was lost in my thoughts. I could not get the strange woman I interacted with earlier, out of my head. She was quite eccentric and her words did not exactly make any sense to me. I recalled the card she had held up to my face and the image drawn on it. The woman that was engulfed in a cloud of black smoke, and the smoke seemed to consume her whole being. It was an eerie drawing, but I could not phantom how it related to me. The weird woman talked about my emotions.How was I feeling at the moment?I searched my emotions, but I felt nothing. Ever since my best friend and Enzo betrayed me,
CLAIRE's POVI watched as the men, which Luis had referred to as bandits encircled us slowly. They were really hellbent on taking me away. The man, who I had guessed to be the leader began to approach me slowly. Luis stood in front of me, in an attempt to engage the man. The man chuckled and signalled for his men."You are not the one I want, and you are in the way," He said, with a menacing stare."You will not be able to touch her, as long as I am here," Luis retorted.The man chuckled an within the blink of an eye, three of his men surrounded Luis. They grabbed Luis by the arm and flung me to the opposite direction, away from me. My head spun to his direction and I saw him pushing himself up from the floor. Luis was a good fighter, I had nothing to worry about, but would he be able to take on three men all by himself? My heart dropped when more men encircled him."Hey, your attention should be on me beautiful,"My head snapped forward and my eyes fell on the man. He was walking tow
LUIS's POVThe darkness of the night thickened as Claire and I walked further. We had to put our journey to a halt and find a spot to camp until it was morning again. I found a large tree, with a few grasses under and decided on that spot. Claire made herself comfortable and slept off right away. I guessed that she was terribly exhausted. Anyone would be after a long day of fighting and running. I sat beside the sleeping Claire, keeping an eye out for any danger. My mind could not stop replaying what I had seen a bit earlier. Claire, brutally torturing that man with the most psychotic grin on her lips. It was eerie, scary even. It broke my heart so much that Claire was like this. I could see that she was slowly drowning into the darkness and it was consuming her whole.But what could I do about it?I wanted her to talk to me, but each time I tried, she got defensive with me. It was like, she was putting up a wall an blocking me out. It made me unimaginably sad to see that Claire, som
CLAIRE's POVI stormed down the hallways, eager to find the empress. Where was her office again? As I walked by, I got stares and waves from witches I recognised from my last stay here. I ignored them however and kept walking. I did not have time for meaningless greetings. I slowed down when the image of Emmaline's hurt face appeared in my mind. My words hurt her, but they did not matter to me. If I was asked why I behaved that way, I would not be able to give a definite reason why.The moment Danica and Emmaline ran up to me, I got a sudden flash, like a memory of Bianca. She was standing there, instead of them. Seeing her made me rage and I was filled with bitterness once again. I could not trust anyone anymore, especially my so called friends. I could stabbed in the back by them at any moment.I hastened my steps once again, until I heard the empress's voice, coming from a room on the far left. I walked up to the room and observed that the door was slightly ajar. From the small ope
CLAIRE's POVI looked at Luis dead in the eyes and spoke."What do you even want to say to me hm? That everything would be okay? That there is no reason for me to be this angry and bitter?" I scoffed. "Then you are dead wrong."Luis exhaled and reached out to me, but I scooted back. My whole blood was boiling and a comforting hand from him was the last thing I needed."Look, Claire, I understand your anger, but-""No!" I yelled, attracting the attention of the witches passing by.But I did not care one bit. I ignored the sharp stares and kept on hollering at Luis."Don't you dare say that you understand how I am feel because you do not know the half of it! You do not know what it feels like!" I yelled.Luis looked around and then back at me."Okay Claire, I do not understand how you feel, but calm down-""Oh? You want me to calm down now? After following me around and trying to talk to me like there is something wrong with me. You expect me to calm down? No Luis, I will not stay calm.
CLAIRE's POV “As you know, spells are divided into classes, which are elements. Fire, water, wind and earth,” Aunt Axera said as she paced in front of me. I stood rigidly to the ground, palms made into tight fists as I listened to her. Her eyes found me and she continued.“Some spells differ however, like the healing and protection spell. There is one more spell, one which I will not mention.”I cocked my head with my eyebrows raised. I wanted to question her on what spell she was talking about, but the look on her face told me that she was not willing to talk about it.So, I reserved my question, waiting on her. “Now, these elements each have grades, or levels. If you want to become a very strong witch, then, you would need to be able to cast a grade five spell with ease.”“Grade five?”Aunt Axera nodded. “Yes. Grade five is the highest level for any spell.”I swallowed hard. Grade five. It seemed far and out of my reach, but I wanted to get there no matter how gruelling this trai
DOMINIK's POV"Haul these bags into the storage room. Keep them by the very left with the cartons." I said to the wolves, who carried a bag of new food items on their shoulders. They all nodded and did as I instructed. Today, we were stocking up and refilling our food items. This was usually the job of Luis and some other wolves under him, but due to his absence I had to take over. It had been over a month and I had no heard a word from neither Luis, nor Claire. And it worried me greatly.I had this feeling, stuck in my chest that something bad had happened to them. I did not want to believe it however. I trusted Luis enough to protect my mate, but what was this feeling? This premonition running down my spine each time I thought about Claire? I exhaled and looked at the list of food items I held in my right hand.I gave more orders until all the food items I had ordered were now placed safely in the store house. I walked back to the pack house with only one person on my mind.Claire.
CLAIRE's POVAs I stared at my reflection in the mirror, a pair of blue eyes stared back at me. I admired myself, mostly because I was in disbelief. Never in my life, would I have imagined that I would be adorned with this dress.As I stood before the full-length mirror, I took in the sight before me. I was wearing a stunning wedding dress, the most beautiful thing I had ever worn in my life. The fabric was pure white, soft and silky to the touch, with a subtle shimmer that made it seem almost luminous in the dimly lit room.The bodice was fitted,
CLAIRE's POVMy mind was racing, my eyes were fixed on Cora, who had now morphed into a dragon. Her large glass green orbs found me, and she roared."You finally showed yourself, almighty goddess. What are you going to do? Save your mate, friends, or loyal supporters? Or watch them die by my hands," she chuckled.I could tell that she was taunting me, but for what reason? My eyes trailed to Dominik, who was crouched down on the floor, bus body covered in blood.
CLAIRE's POVJust like Luis and Dominik had anticipated, a war was about to break out. We had received a letter from none other than Cora herself. She was leading the faction that was against me into war. In the letter, she told Dominik to give me up to her, but naturally, he refused, and so we began preparing for war.The men that had come to see me, saying that I was their goddess, brought more of their faction to Dominik's small cottage. Their numbers were significantly much, and I was glad that we had so many people, willing to fight on our side.
CLAIRE's POVHow had it all started? I could not tell. The moment I left Dominik's side, I rushed out of the pack house, to aid the rest of his men in battle as their cries were getting louder and louder. But then, I was ambushed. The moment I stepped outside, multiple arrows flew towards me, piercing my flesh.It was a precise, and calculated plan. The enemy had anticipated me, walking out of the pack house and chose to act quickly. Whoever was leading them, must have been very smart. Was it Cora?With the poisonous arrows dulling my senses, I cou
DOMINIK's POV"What?" I questioned as my eyes trailed to Claire, who was standing right beside me."Does your shoulder hurt?"She shook her head. "I assume that the tracking spell has worked off, the tattoo is even gone."I grimaced, unsure of whether or not she was fine. Claire looked at me and gave me a pat on the back."Don't worry
CLAIRE's POVThe party was rather cheerful with people dancing, and some cheering. Drinks were poured and everyone was having a good time. I sat right beside Dominik, my arm wrapped around his. I was reluctant to leave his side, and I could tell that he felt the same way. My eyes occasionally kept wandering the diamond that now sat on my fingers.Everything still felt like a dream. Had Dominik really appointed me as his Luna? And even went as far as proposing to me. My hear felt like it would melt from the amount of happiness I was feeling. I nuzzled my head on Dominik's arm as a smile crossed my lips.
CLAIRE's POVThe sound of distant chattering jolted me awake from my deep sleep. My eyes creaked open, and they landed on an unfamiliar bedside table. This was not my room. Where was I? I tried to move, but my movements were restricted. Curious, I looked down to see large, bulky arms, wrapped around my waist.Then, I remembered.I was in Dominik's room.Everything began to come back slowly. The moment we had gotten back from the palace, Domi
CLAIRE's POVI sat in the carriage, right beside Dominik. The atmosphere between us was silent, but it was not an uncomfortable silence. My mind was far lost in thought and I assumed it was the same for Dominik.I had greatly underestimated my father's hatred for Dominik. To think that he would call the guards to remove his own daughter from the palace she is living in came as a shock to me.When the guards grabbed me by my arms and pulled me away from Vera and my stepsisters, I could not do anything. I could only stare at them. They all had a worr
CLAIRE's POV"Your Highness..." The guards spoke up the moment I approached the gate.Their eyes trailed away from the opposing figure beside me. Dominik did not mind their various gaze and kept a blank expression. My arms were linked with his, and my heart was racing inside my chest.I could only imagine how my father would react the moment he saw me, hand in hand with the notorious devil alpha. The guards did not stop us as we walked into the palace grounds. I was thankful for that, as I did not wa
